People ask me all the time what a good Revit box is: what kind of RAM should I use? What sort of video card? How does processor speed help? Or bus speed on the mainboard?
A benchmark like this might be more illuminating than the rendering benchmark (oh wow - that pun was not intended), and I wonder if the fastest rendering box might or might not be the fastest at the modelling and drafting tasks we do every day in Revit.
